Some people believe that students should be taught international news as a subject at school. Others feel that this would be a waste of valuable school time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
It is clear that any country cannot survive alone in the era of globalization. Thus, we have to notice what happens in the world and how it effects on our countries. Therefore, some people think students have to study it at school and I also think there are some advantages when studying as a subject at school. This essay will discuss in detail after providing both views.
First of all, if schools teach their students international events as a subject, most students can learn without their effort to search what happened around the world. Because it is definitely important nowadays to study global news but only few students try to study in their free time. Thus, the more school provides the class, the more student learn easily.
On the other hand, there might be people who think it would be a waste of valuable school time. On the modern society, many people consider school as the place where students learn skills to join a university and get a job rather than study liberal arts. Moreover, good grade is more important than class contents. For people who think school is just a step for success, learning international events at school is useless. They might want to learn more efficient skills for jobs.
In conclusion, importance of learning international news at school is different, depending on what people want to learn at school. However, I agree that it is useful to learn global things at school. It might not be related to get a good job immediately but students can improve their views in various fields, which can be helpful in their lives. Also, I think schools should teach not only skills for jobs but also liberal arts that makes young students’ lives better except career.
